Lesson description:

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis is one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures. It is a universally accepted surgical technique but currently entails the risk of injury to the bile ducts. Common Bile Duct Injury is a serious intraoperative event that must be avoided as it leads to increased risk of serious morbidity, mortality, and length of stay in addition to reduced quality of life and long-term survival.
